I've had the Norton programs for several months with no problem on my previous computer I took them off that and have them now only on my new computer , but I only just added the Siteadvisor and Spyware Doctor. Siteadvisor has different features than NIS's phishing protection, so I want to run them simultaneously.
And Spyware Doctor is top rated by several computer magazine sites that I read so I want to have its real-time protection on simultaneously with NIS's real-time spyware protection.
Does anyone think I will get any conflicts from doing this? I also run AVG free antispyware but that is a manual scan so I'm sure it wouldn't conflict. Any opinions on this? So far, everything is working just fine. Search Everywhere Threads This forum This thread.

Dark Lord of Tech Retired Moderator. Aug 18, 3, 9 27, No Problem,Tom's Hardware will help you whenever you need it! Instead, you have to pay for real-time protection and for the removal of nasties. On the other hand, it makes no sense to have to pay for a program which removes baddies when there are other programs around like SAS or Malware Bytes which are not only free, but also powerful, on-demand, thus not conflicting with Norton, and which remove the baddies they find.
Please do not bog down your computer with tons of scanners. In my opinion, Norton and Malware Bytes are more than enough. You can download Malware Bytes from the link below, if you decide to do so - once again, it is your computer, and your decision :- Just remember to manually update Malware Bytes about 2 or 3 times a day. I am not sure how the paid version of Spyware Doctor works in the sense of "subscription"; do you have to pay periodically in order to continue using the full version?
However, I believe that Spyware Doctor's "creator", PC Tools, is still responsible for the development of the program - which might explain conflicts between Norton products and Spyware Doctor. The free version does not offer real time protection and has no official support except via the PC Tools forums.
Yes, PC Tools is still responsible for the development of their programs, independently of Symantec. To be honest, I am going to stay with what I have.
I am aware of false positives and have had a few over the years but I know a false positive when I see one and can ask PC Tools if I am in any doubt. But hey, I have a lot of PCs!
Finally, as for clogging up my PCs with security scanners, that was my point; the difference in using one or two security scanners was very little. As you have said it my choice and I choose to leave things as they are. I will use Internet Security in real time for everyday use and run a full system scan with PC Tools in real time mode once a week with Symantec turned off. I have also experienced 'incidents' where SD has intercepted a potential risk before Norton.
Perhaps Norton would have got it in time but SD was first. I do like SD's Threatfire inclusion as it is highly rated and I seem to recall somewhere that Anti-Virus and Spyware scanners can live happily together. Quite a few I would reckon. Many of them have rootkits, which would seem to me to be a rather large gap in security caused by running two programs together. Spybot actually prevents the removal of rootkits. AVG has prevented the running of necessary tools to remove a rootkit and had to be scripted out before the rootkit could be removed.
Back to top. JimboC Regular Contributor 5. Reg: Sep I do notice that both programs SEEM to run their scans properly as per their log files.
So I'm willing to believe Norton's claim is wrong. But I can't afford to have multiple systems with less than maximum protection and I seek guidance from you folks as to what to do while we await resolution. Unfortunately the threads already posted here give conflicting and varying advice so I would appreciate the best advice from the admins and experts here!
Thank You! PS: I'd also like to know why I can't start a new paragraph using the text editor in posting here like I used to be able to do before. I say "again" because I've seen this complaint raised by others. I was able to insert breaks between paragraphs here by writing in Notepad and pasting here. Hello and. There is a lot of antivirus vendors claiming that you need to remove Malwarebytes so that they do not conflict. This is a tactic that they use to avoid possible conflicts.
If you currently have both installed and all is working well, then you do not have a conflict and you can leave both on and enabled. I some cases exceptions need to be entered to avoid a conflict but these cases are rare and depends on your setup. We can work with you should you experience any issues so that you can continue and use both should a problem arise.
As for starting a new paragraph, its an issue with IE10 and this forum. What you can do is one of two things You can click on the compatibility button broken page in the address bar and run in compatibility mode while on this forum.
You can toggle off editing mode little switch on the top left of the window where you are typing your reply.
